Hey peeps, I'm currently running fluxbox and I absolutely love its simplicity and how quickly you can edit menus and hotkeys, but yesterday I watched a great video on Beryl and now I'm tempted to switch over. So here come the questions.

I'm still not sure what people are really getting at with "running beryl and fluxbox."

What is it about fluxbox that you want to replicate in beryl? The actual window managing capabilities of fluxbox are fairly minimal (which, after all, is what people like about it). Do you just like the look, the taskbar, and the slit? If so, you can run those all from beryl. But they aren't actually fluxbox, they're just programs shipped with fluxbox._________________vi? *snicker* it doesn't even include a mail reader...

Wrong. The slit and taskbar are compiled directly into the fluxbox binary. There are non-fluxbox related programs that you can install that provide the same features though.
